The Opportunity: Your Next Adventure Awaits?

In today’s rapidly evolving world, companies are forced to do more than just meet customer needs — they must proactively anticipate them. Customers want on-demand access to products that are tailored to their preferences, and expect delivery at a place and time of their choosing. In response, companies and their supply chains are undergoing significant transformations to the evolving expectations of their customers. The need for greater agility needs to be balanced with watching the bottom line, and this puts pressure on the way companies source goods, balance demand and produce or distribute products to their customers.

Your Key Responsibilities

Our supply chain consulting team focuses on delivering challenging projects across the entire supply chain. Typical projects involve the creation of a supply chain strategy, (re-)design and optimization of the manufacturing footprint and distribution network, transformation of supply chain planning departments, blueprint creation of e-commerce models for logistics & distribution, sourcing & procurement optimization, and implementation of manufacturing excellence.

As a Junior Business Consultant you will have the chance to get a taste of all our Supply Chain competences ranging from planning, to procurement, manufacturing & logistics. You will help clients shape the future of supply chain by focusing on Innovation, Technology and Sustainability! We are looking for young graduates to reinforce our team as from September 2025.
